If you watch olde yamms enough you realize he contradicts himself very, very often - people who talk for a living can never come to a conclusion because then they run out things to say.
Sometimes I feel like just doing EXACTLY the opposite of what Yammie recommends brings us the most joy and excitement and keeps us all safe and healthy.
I think I know what you mean. I guess I a bit too old and established a' motorcyclist and remember the early posts of noob when he was a noob! I'd been on the road riding everything from FSIEs, RD350LCs, CB900FII, Honda Turbos, GPZ900Rs before he'd even got his license. Not sure he's for me. But everyone is entitled to their opinion of course.
@@arjunayadav839 yah but hes got a lot of experience and knowledge on these types of topics. so honestly its pretty good advice for new riders and people looking to get there first bikes. people want to know what issues to look for when buying a new bike. i mean none of the bikes on this list really interest me besides the s1000 I'm more into sportbikes and supersports. getting my first bike early next spring. waiting till then cause the weathers starting to change and summers coming to an end.
The CB1000R isn't a hyper-naked and nobody shopping for one wants 200hp, or they would look elsewhere. It's for the rider who has a CB650R and wants to upgrade to a more powerful and more flexible engine. Also it's for someone who wants refined, elegant styling, and not some deranged Autobot or post-apocalyptic insect. Yeah, I mean old guys. 😂 It is not overrated. It is perfectly rated.
I agree, I love my SC80. people bitch about the torque hole at 6k in the power band, but honestly? it makes it a much better daily rider, and it's not a huge ask to kick it up in the 7k+. and i swear to god it's not copium from seeing my precious CB in the thumbnail 😅 and in any case, it's not like on any average day you still aren't the fastest thing on the road.
Agreed, I want a cb650r but love the single sided swingarm on the 1000 so now I want that lol, the cb1000r black edition wheel spokes are the coolest Ive seen on any bike! I mean I aint an expert but can you find a retro style single sided swingarm bike anywhere?
Getting a tail tidy and a SC-Project S1 (for example) and the single sided swingarm really shines even more. Looks so damn fine. I rode an MT-09 and an MT-07 as well and they´re different riding experiences that the CB1000R, but i preferred the CB overall. I like the sporty vibe, meaning that you kinda have to get it into high rpms for the power to come through. That also means that you can ride it in chill mode daily, just keep it under 5k rpm. Wanna go really fast, just put it beyond 7-8k and you´re getting rocketed forward just enough for me. Edit: oh and yeah, own the black edition. Easily one the most beautiful bikes i´ve ever seen, specially with the mods i mentioned. (gotta get that ugly ass huge standard exhaust off of it)
As a Honda simp, it's no surprise that I love my 21 Cb1000R. BUT... everyone who's ever ridden it, from hardcore Honda haters to S1000RR loyalists and Yamaha pursuits - all loved the bike and are stunned by how smooth and effortless it rides. It helps that it's also a work of art. If anything, the bike is underrated... I've only seen 1 other Cb1000R in my state, it's a shame because it's a fantastic machine.
@@wolfattackz187 same man, same 😁 maybe one day for me, when I'm actually ready for it edit: though honestly, on the 650 I feel like the red is the best looking!
I had a 2005 Z1000 it was the most fun motorcycle I have owned, I moved to the Concours 14 because I wanted to retain the Z performance with the ability to tour, but I still miss the Z great mid range power light and fun as hell
Wow, more hate for the Z900...shocking...It still looks better than the MT09. Also, it's not supposed to be a Liter bike, it's tuned for every day riding.
there's not enough actual things to hate about it, gotta go for the looks, I guess. I think it looks awesome. Not a whole lot of naked bikes out there that I think are prettier
I like the design and engine of the Z900, but the ergonomics don't fit my 6.3ft (192cm) body and the standard suspension is meh at best. I owned one for a few years and stopped riding completely because I got bored. Love my new Triumph Speed Triple RS
The cb1000r is like the Bandit 1200. It will make a great bike for a long time. Speed and power is awesome. But for us that have families we look at longevity as well. You hear detuned sportbike motor and you automatically think slow and underpowered. I hear overbuilt and reliable.
Every yammie vid goes: "parallel twins are boring" "kawasakis suck" "I love triples" "I owned a Daytona" "MT09s are the best" "win a free bike" "bla bla bla" Nothing new anymore
The whole point of the CB1000R is to not be a hyper naked. It has never been advertised is a hyper naked so why would anyone expect it to compete with those other bikes. It created its own neo retro lane
I agree it's not trying to be a hyper naked, but it offers so little for the price point. Even adding cruse control would make it worthwhile imo. For the price, there are just too many options.
If by created its own lane you mean less equipped, less enjoyable, and more expensive than all similar competitors, then sure… it’s certainly in its own lane
@brennanstelting322 still, the competition can also be had used. So it's still behind on options. It's just not a good option in its current state imo.
I don't like the alien-like mt09, but for me the my2018 is way better looking than the z900. it's just excessively sharp and it's too heavy. mt09 wins 10-0 for me
"Top 7 Overrated Motorcycles You Should Avoid (based on my own biased opinion)" There fixed it for you. Don't get me wrong, you're probably a better rider and know more things about bikes more than anyone else here but sometimes your opion is full of bs 😂
Just bought a 2024 Z900 brand new. Could not be happier with this bike. Been riding nearly everyday to work (2 hours round trip) only problem I've got is cleaning the bugs off my helmet daily. Sorry Yammie you're wrong on this one. Z900 is awesome!
Yeah, I just got my 2024 Z900 a week ago. Kawasaki had a sale. Great price on it this month. Ugly? Yammie's MT-09 example looked far uglier with its stacked cyclops headlights, motocross bike seat, unique exhaust, and plain stamped sheet aluminum frame (vs. trellis). The Mt-09 was going for $2k more.
I think you have the Z900 confused with another bike. I've been riding since 1985 and have had dozens of motorcycles (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Harley) and the Z900 has got to be my favorite bike hands down. Adding a full Akrapovic exhaust system to the bike not only wakes it up, but makes it one of the best sounding inline 4s out there. Swing your leg over one, preferably with a full exhaust, and give her a spin.
lol how is the CB overrated? Nobody talks it up and nobody buys it. It should be listed as a "hidden gem" that doesn't get the credit for being how good it actually is because it's overshadowed by the hyper naked category.
I'm going to go ahead and say I am biased but, the CB1000R is a timeless gem. Yes, it's over priced, yes, it's engine is detuned, yes, it isn't a super naked. However, 143hp is wayyyy more than anyone needs for the road, the reliability is second to none, it's produced in Japan, and in 20 years people will still say, "That's a great looking bike."
I have to somewhat disagree. I have a 2024 Z900 SE edition. I wasn't blown away by it when I first got it. But, after I didn't ride for over a month and rode a 600cc Ninja supersport, a 2024 MT09, and a CF Moto 450 NK, I was actually surprised at how much I missed my Z900 SE. Yes It is heavy-ish, it's not too heavy though, but that weight actually helps with stability going down the road at any decent speed. It is an interesting bike to look at, I don't mind my SE editions looks. It's not perfect for a few reasons but, for the lower cost, good reliability, that great torque! plus a little over 50MPG it's really not a bad bike at all. It's funky, but maybe not in a horrible way. I prefer the look of a supersport for sure, but the Z has it's own little place. Oh, I think the ZH2 or H2 aren't any better looking at all. Naked bikes generally don't look all that good, especially the MT09 or MT10, yuck! They are terrible unfinished looking bikes. 3 cylinder engine sound just don't do it for me either. It's like a Geo Metro with a 3 cylinder, they just sound not quite right. Either 2 cylinder or 4, pick one. If Yamaha would have given the MT09 better more finished looks and a 4 cylinder under 440 lbs I'd be absolutely sold. But, sadly no. That's where the Z900 comes in. Name me another new 4-cylinder naked bike that can compete with the Z900 that isn't heavy......? And KTM? Uh, no. Reliability is top of the must haves long over a few less punds on a motorcycle. Oh, and Yammie sure did forget to mention that the ZH2 and H2 are well over 500 lbs!!!
You have to remember every motorbike can just ride down the road fine. It's more about performance and power to weight when we are talking about motorcycles. I don't think the z900 even has an option with fully adjustable suspension. It puts it in the heavy and cheap daily rider not a track or performance focused bike which is why he is saying they're over rated people think they're the best bike they are mediocre
@@DoraTheNinja I hope my comment related my thoughts clearly. I don't think the Z900 is the best bike ever. But, many bikes aren't the best bikes ever. Maybe some people think it is the best bike ever, that's ok too, I'm sure you have a favorite that you think is the best bike ever. Oh, and just for some info, my SE edition has fully adjustable suspension including an Ohlins rear shock with external preload adjustment, special paint and gold anodized front fork tubes. It's pretty cool. I wanted the MT09, but ended up with the Z900 after I rode the MT twice. It was awesome too though. But, the MT was just too unfinished looking and the 3 cylinder sound was just not right as you kept riding it. A very cool bike though. Not sure what bike I would go with if I sold my Z and was looking to "upgrade". I do mostly around town and an occasional canyon ride. The Z really fits that role well. I did change my horrible stock seats, I put different mirrors on it, a slip on muffler (which lopped off 6 pounds) and a tail tidy. It's pretty good now. I get a lot of comments and interest in it everywhere I go. Oh and a quick side note that wasn't mentioned by Yammie, the ZH2 and H2 are well over 500 lbs!!!!! But, he sure made a point about the Z and the CB1000 being a"heavy" 470 lbs. Oh, and the Z is actually 465. Minus 6 pounds for the muffler on mine. So, mine actually weighs 459 ish pounds. That's not terrible at all for a 4 cylinder 948cc bike if you think about it.
Underrated bike, NC750x. It gets so much hate, but it's so good at what it does. Commute. Comfy, easy to ride, built in storage, and stop and go traffic is a breeze. Love that bike....even if it is a bit boring.
@@nicolask9295 yup lol it's more fun than driving, and super reliable. Plus there is one feature on it, that litterally NO ONE talks about. The built in storage is above the engine, so when you go get a bag of burritos, they stay FRESH AND WARM! Hard to find another bike with a built in burrito warmer lmao
Dang 1st bike is my bike, coming from an 02 R6, the usable torque and digital dash makes me feel like im ballin on a budget 😂. I love it, sucks nobody else does.
agreed its chaprified... but still has a very reliable engine , looks bulky and agressive and is cheap to maintain.. i disagree with yammie.. its a very good do all bike
I'm in NC and I love you z9...coming from an R6. I still get the good Ole 4 cylinder sound with waaaay more torque for light to light traffic. I don't regret my purchase
@@PapZoltan99 dont agree with that either... The MT is good looking, just not the recent models. The front of the current MT is ugly as its trying to be too futuristic. The older MTs (up to 2020) are great, close to the Z bikes.
@@PapZoltan99 Agreed. The MT-09 is the ugliest. Though on it or right by it you can't see the ugly sections. Dr.Benji actually agrees with you in his second sentence. The Z900 looks good. The lack of $$ electronic do-dads is a plus.
Ural isn't overrated. It sells as a fun oddity and gives fun and oddity in spades. I own a 1964-2024 Dnepr, and road trip in one of these is fun (and but friendly for one's co-pilot), because its a people magnet.
The cb1000r isn’t a hyper naked, and they don’t advertise it as such. Also, calling Honda milk toast and pedestrian is just ignorance and bias towards Yamaha. There isn’t a single engine or vehicle manufacturer in the history of engine builders and vehicle manufacturers that has done more for motor sports than Honda. Tammie is just a hater, nothing more.
Yammie, I like your videos overall, but sometimes you are absolutely full of s**t. I don't own a Z900 but i have ridden one. And as an upper intermediate rider I feel that its a great bike and I certainly like the looks.
We love Harleys for the same reason people love muscle cars. They are by no stretch of the imagination modern, innovative, or fresh....however, they have a character and a soul. Some don't identify or quite frankly like that character, but Harley guys do. So next time you see an old retired, tattooed Harley pirate rolling by on a CVO. He's on that bike for the same reason guys his age would roll by in 70s monte Carlo with Chevy big block crate swap with custom choppy cams and fresh chrome
The Bussy is the stock Aventador of the bike world. All the beginners want one, they can't afford it, go into debt, nearly die, everybody else sees them as idiots in an overrated car. But at the end of the day, everybody expects it, they know how tacky it is, and they understand why they wanted one... Because its FUN.
They pretty much are on the same level of fugly, also include the KTM in that lineup. What are those bikes even meant to be? some sort of transformer/gundam sort of thing? dont get it.
Good God, stop hating on the BMW GS! It’s an awesome bike! Not a single problem ever with my 2014 GS. It’s a great bike for long distance. Super comfortable. And I completely disagree with you: it’s got power, torque, wind protection, and great technology. And yes, off road capable! I’ve ridden the BMW GS twice on the 2-day, off-road rider course in SC. With some TKC 80 tires on it, it can do almost anything. There is a reason it is so incredibly popular and loved. And it’s a great looking bike too. Back off Yammie! 😁
I agree with everything you said with the exception of the S1000RR, dont really like that BMW has the breakin period and the bike definitely needs a tune but its an amazing bike. I feel like its not soulless at all. The bike handles amazing and inspires confidence. That paired with the amazing electronics package makes this bike a weapon even in the hands of an average rider.
@@Tom-hx5kh they kinda ditched the iconic aesthetics in the recent models though, didnt they? they once had the iconic assymetrical front lights which they don´t anymore :(
the problem is that it’s an air cooled engine as they can’t rev much higher than 5-6000rpm due to heat. if it was liquid cooled it’d probably be around the 250 mark especially while comparing it to the v-rod or nightrod. sure some tuners will make that 2100cc engine 200+ hp and funnily enough that it’d still be covered under warranty which is actually pretty sick. i ride a liquid cooled indian myself so i’m very far from being biased especially as my bike before that was a bmw 650gs 😅
Honda: "Our CB1000R is a Neo Cafe - retro meets modern naked in a beautiful yet sporty package, oh did we mention fireblade engine?". Yammie "Im calling it a hypernaked and this hypernaked is half baked..."
Completely disagree with the negative comments about the CB1000R. Fantastic bike with really nice finishes not found on the hyper nakeds, like the front side panels and machined/ polished engine cases. I find the other hypernakeds so powerful that they aren't that fun to ride on the street, with the exception of the MT-09. Rather than thinking about it as in competition with those bikes, I think of it as a highly evolved version of the old air cooled CB750, where you can experience the dramatic improvements in overall power, power delivery, handling, and fit and finish. Have never seen or heard of anyone stating that the CB is anything other than what it is. Overrated how???
The ural seems like a really odd inclusion in this list. The only times I've ever heard people talk about them, it was basically "oh yeah those weird sidecar things". I don't think anyone is really expecting anything from them other than a weird and novel experience, which is probably why the people that actually ride them seem to love them so much.
You just have to accept and understand that every modern day bike has its place in the market for riders. Not everyone has the same budget, or the same availability/ access to the so called ‘Best Bikes’, not to mention someone’s age, size, personal riding comfort and individual ability. Dealership access and locality etc too. Personally it is video content like this that just makes me think it’s done to boost the numbers rather than actual quality content. My first and last response to a Yammie video. 👍
Ok, agree with you, for me, the Multi off road, no bueno. Touring, love it! Made several cross country trips from the PNW to the midwest with minimal interstate travel. Did the same on my FJR, will take the multi any day. Yes, I'm 66 and did make two starbucks stops during my travels. Do I need the excitement of a track sport bike, nahhh, but am absolutely thrilled with my V4S Multi! Great channel, long time follower!
I would go the extra mile and argue that ALL liter bikes are overrated. You could spend $30k on a 1000cc bike to go 80mph on the highway, or you could spend $9k on a 600cc bike to go 80mph on the highway. That being said.....the S1000RR is my dream bike and I will eventually get one. (despite what Papa Yam may say) 🤣
I would go to the extra mile and add to this that ALL inline4's regarding of displacement are extremely overrated and on their long paved way to death and damnation as the most idiotic and useless engine on a motorcycles ever. But yeah, liter bikes are bizarre, most of the riders would be slower on them than on v2/triple 765-955cc bike.
All roasts aside, bro 1:07 was insane. Like all the Kawasaki reputation just went into gutter😭😭. BTW I'd choose zx6r over z900 ANY DAY. Any sane guy would
As the proud owner of a Honda CB1000R, I love mine. I did a lot of customization to make it more of a true cafe racer, like it was meant to be, and it's a very fun bike to ride. And it gets a lot of attention in it's modified configuration. Well worth the money spent on it in my opinion.
I like the z900 or used to love the z1000 because it was the most affordable 1000cc bike I could have. Bought a beast PC with the down payment that I saved for the bike, then proceeded to become a typical room dwelling noob, ruined my career and savings and now only dream of owning any big bike or even getting married, girls say a lot of shit but in the end it comes down to how much money you make.
Seventy years old and got my license at 15. Been riding every since. I absolutely love motorcycles of all kinds and have learned a few things. The biggest thing to me is motorcycles are like women; the very best one is the one I’m riding right now. At that moment none of the others matter.
READ ME IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN A CB1000R The fueling and timing on the big CB is Fucked beyond belief. A flash COMPLETELY TRANSFORMS THIS BIKE. Look up “2 Wheeled dyno works” and see what a flash and an exhaust system does, it’s wild. Also, full system drops 20lbs of weight.
CB1000R is a phenomenal bike! Single side swingarm ,great headlight,great looks,great breaks and 144 HP! Seriously who needs more HP on public roads? This is my dream bike....
I own z900 2023 and i change 4 bikes since the kawa and i really like the look and the engine i use it for daily commute and for long rides . Is perfect .
Couldn't agree more with every bike, except the cb1000r. I don't know who gave you the idea that it's a hyper naked or even a super naked because honda most definitely does not market it as that. They call it a neo sports café which as long winded as that name is it describes it perfectly. It's stylish and beautiful café racer looks mated to a fairly sporty chassis, suspension and brakes topped off with an absolute diamond of road going engine. And make no mistake the old 1000cc long stroke from the rr4-rr7 fireblade is an absolute corker of an engine, it's turbine smooth, huge midrange grunt and way more top end rush than anyone can realistically need from a naked bike.
Z900 is not overrated lol. It's just a good alrounder that does not excel in anything. The character of the bike is also smooth which can be seen as tame... Edit: watched the vid lol yammie is trolling
Nah mate ,you're so wrong,after seeing Harleys all the time,seeing a naked or sportbike is so exciting ...go back to being poor and not being able to afford 1 bike,then youll appreciate any 2 wheeled vehicle!
About the Ducati Multistrada. The V4 has a little sister waiting to be discovered: the V2. Almost has much capable for about 6 to 10 thousand box (depending of the options) less than the V4. Of course the V2 also has a less powerful engine (110HP) but still pack punch and will happilly mach the V4 performances for less fuel consumption. Agile, comfortable, with tons of bells and whistles the V2 his neglected because why not the V4 since where at it? Most guys will select the V4 because: more powa! But at the end of the day. They stop laughing when they see me with my V2 in their mirrors and then realize they have to stop refuelling while I continue my ride for another 120 km (80 miles-ish).
I'm still loving our (my wife and me) KTM's (Duke 390 , 890R and superduke 1290R) we just love them because of there lightweight handeling and so much fun to ride , lot's of torque and power and we had no issues at all , just normal maintance .
I watched the whole video waiting for the GS to be mentioned, as I knew Yam would say it's overrated 😂 I was also just making sure he didn't think my V-Strom 650 was overrated, because "nobody" even talk about that bike, except V-Strom fans who doesn't even think about selling their bike. I'm sure I won't sell mine at least for quite some time
Good that you put the BMW GS on the list. While I disagree with you on the engine, most people would be better served with an R, RS or even RT. I rode one. Meh, no feel for the front wheel, whatever.
I own a MT09 but I dig the looks of the z900. My brother has one, we would trade bikes and the z900 just feels refinely boring. My MT isn’t a looker but beastly things aren’t always that.
i went from a vulcan S (owned for 4 years) to a 790 ADV (1 year so far) i fell into that marketing hype of "go everywhere, do anything" gtfoh this KTM is heavy as hell. I love using it for touring rides, but just riding around town doing errands, i wish i had a grom lol I was definitely a BMW GS simp, but i realized my goal when im 40 is to own and ride the shit out of a goldwing. I say middleweight ADV's are also grossly overrated
I disagree with the CB1000R. If the reason to avoid it is because it's not as powerful as you want it, that's not really the point of the bike in my opinion. I think the detuned engine just gives you the Honda reliability on a snappy sport naked. If I wanted an incredibly fast bike, I probably wouldn't go for the sport naked line. The Ural I don't want to agree with, because I think the aesthetic of them and stability with a side car (side cars are definitely not overrated, you can bring your dog) but they're unreliable and WAY over priced. I knew a guy with 3 and at least one was always broke. I'd like another manufacturer to offer something similar, but more reliable.
BMW GS is fun, insanely comfortable, easy to ride, and can do anything. It also weighs far less than the Gold Wing, which is something you failed to mention. The fact that old men buy them and do nothing with them isn't the bikes problem
The Z900 looks soo good! Too bad I didn't like riding it. But its engine totally makes sense: it is based on the legendary ZX9r engine, although not as powerful. And 10k is a good price.😊
What ? No KTM 1290 ( to match the multistrada and the 1250 GS) , no Suzuki ( getting overpriced by the day) , no Triumph and , of course, no Yamaha. But 2 BMW models in the top 10. I'm feeling proud of my babies ( although not those on the video)
Nothing quite tickles my fancy as an air cooled bike with a homemade rack and a good ride to some distant campground. Different strokes for different folks.
Z900 offers you simple and raw experience yet you called it boring. S1000rr offers you speed and thrill yet you called it boring. GS and multistrada offers you refinement and advance tech yet you called it boring. Go out and just walk or run. Hahahaha
Normally I don't agree with papa Yam. But every single point, is completely valid. GS, MS both so overrated. Get a GW or RT if you wanna tour, get a T7 or VstromDE if u want an allroad. Also I'm a big Honda fan, but agree that they missed the mark with the CB1000R
Nah man, the Z900 is a good-looking bike, but I will fully agree that it's a design that's not for everyone. It's like a Lambo versus a Ferrari...you either really like the hard angles in the L, or you prefer the smooth flow of the F design. But some of us like all of them. And where is 470lbs a "whopping" weight? My bike weighs about 650lbs...I doubt I would notice the different between 425lbs and 470lbs, especially if the extra weight is low. That weight difference is meaningless on the street.
KAWASAKI Z900 ISN'T Ugly ... UGLY bike ... is MAHINDRA MOJO 300 ( Just check it out guys ). " Z900 " looks aggressive and Brutal ... !!!!! I haven't heard till now anyone's saying Z900 a UGLY BIKE . 😅😊 AFTER the introduction of " M 1000 RR ". It clearly OVERSHADOWED " S 1000 RR " .😅
Although being a Ducati fan, I couldn 't agree more with you on the matter of Multistrada. It 's just an unnecessary show off vehicle. I really miss the very first, air-cooled 1.000 cc Multistrada. It was beautiful, light, nimble, and tons of fun. Practically a 1.000 cc supermotard, suitable for everyday use and fun in the twisties. Why the hell did Ducati go down the "hyper-adventure" route?
The problem with the original Multistrada is sort of in your description. You sit on the bike more than in it, which makes it feel like a motard. Not ideal for touring. But yeah sound and fun factor is great.
KTM did someting similar with the 990 SMT, which was great fun. Now you have monstrocities like the 1390 Super Adventure or whatever. It's only about profit margins, and currently they probably regret some of their choices....
@@fieramente Why "problem"? It's not that it was the most aggressive riding position one could find. Secondly, you could easily gp on small trips with that first Multistrada, even though it was not a "tourer" per se. Finally, Ducati had the SS and the ST2/ST4 range back then. And the latter were indeed great tourers - and very underestimated bikes IMO. So, why the dinosaur?

and in any case, it's not like on any average day you still aren't the fastest thing on the road.
Honda is so boring though.
And of course boring = Safe. Well engineered. Consistent. Smooth rider
Agreed, I want a cb650r but love the single sided swingarm on the 1000 so now I want that lol, the cb1000r black edition wheel spokes are the coolest Ive seen on any bike! I mean I aint an expert but can you find a retro style single sided swingarm bike anywhere?
Getting a tail tidy and a SC-Project S1 (for example) and the single sided swingarm really shines even more. Looks so damn fine.
I rode an MT-09 and an MT-07 as well and they´re different riding experiences that the CB1000R, but i preferred the CB overall. I like the sporty vibe, meaning that you kinda have to get it into high rpms for the power to come through. That also means that you can ride it in chill mode daily, just keep it under 5k rpm. Wanna go really fast, just put it beyond 7-8k and you´re getting rocketed forward just enough for me.
Edit: oh and yeah, own the black edition. Easily one the most beautiful bikes i´ve ever seen, specially with the mods i mentioned. (gotta get that ugly ass huge standard exhaust off of it)
refined? Elegant? Bro people are tired of Honda not updating the design. Nobody wants that cafe racer nowadays. It's bland and boring.
As a Honda simp, it's no surprise that I love my 21 Cb1000R. BUT... everyone who's ever ridden it, from hardcore Honda haters to S1000RR loyalists and Yamaha pursuits - all loved the bike and are stunned by how smooth and effortless it rides. It helps that it's also a work of art.
If anything, the bike is underrated... I've only seen 1 other Cb1000R in my state, it's a shame because it's a fantastic machine.
and that one-sided swing arm 😩 wish they had that for the 650 too
@@Tom-hx5kh faxxxxxxx Its so much more money but that single sided swingarm is to die for! I want the cb1000r black edition so bad.
@@wolfattackz187 same man, same 😁
maybe one day for me, when I'm actually ready for it
edit: though honestly, on the 650 I feel like the red is the best looking!
In my area you regularly see them in good weather. Granted not as often as a GS or the avg supersport, but they are not too rare surprisingly
Id wake up for an Africa Twin than a CB1000R
Damn i opened this video and instantly got roasted (Z900 Owner)

@@potatopilot16 definitely not rare 😂
Just remember it's Yammie Noob doing the roasting here and that pretty much says it all. 😂
I had a 2005 Z1000 it was the most fun motorcycle I have owned, I moved to the Concours 14 because I wanted to retain the Z performance with the ability to tour, but I still miss the Z great mid range power light and fun as hell
there's a reason no one agrees with you on the Z900 lol
Wow, more hate for the Z900...shocking...It still looks better than the MT09. Also, it's not supposed to be a Liter bike, it's tuned for every day riding.
there's not enough actual things to hate about it, gotta go for the looks, I guess. I think it looks awesome. Not a whole lot of naked bikes out there that I think are prettier
The looks are the only leg up it has on the MT09. Everything else, the MT09 is better, and that's coming from someone who's owned both.
I like the design and engine of the Z900, but the ergonomics don't fit my 6.3ft (192cm) body and the standard suspension is meh at best. I owned one for a few years and stopped riding completely because I got bored. Love my new Triumph Speed Triple RS
The MT09 is better in every way. Including looks.
@@icarickarusgaming5658 I guess it's a matter of opinion...
The cb1000r is like the Bandit 1200. It will make a great bike for a long time. Speed and power is awesome. But for us that have families we look at longevity as well. You hear detuned sportbike motor and you automatically think slow and underpowered. I hear overbuilt and reliable.
Exactly.
and 143 hp is not slow imo
Every yammie vid goes: "parallel twins are boring" "kawasakis suck" "I love triples" "I owned a Daytona" "MT09s are the best" "win a free bike" "bla bla bla"
Nothing new anymore
The whole point of the CB1000R is to not be a hyper naked. It has never been advertised is a hyper naked so why would anyone expect it to compete with those other bikes. It created its own neo retro lane
I agree it's not trying to be a hyper naked, but it offers so little for the price point. Even adding cruse control would make it worthwhile imo. For the price, there are just too many options.
If by created its own lane you mean less equipped, less enjoyable, and more expensive than all similar competitors, then sure… it’s certainly in its own lane
@@Ephem13That’s why I got mine used like the good consumer I am. Avoid paying the slightly steep price plus the dealer fees and everything else.
@brennanstelting322 still, the competition can also be had used. So it's still behind on options. It's just not a good option in its current state imo.
How can you think that the Z900 is ugly? 😂 then what is the MT-09? Im probably gonna buy a MT-09 but the Z900 are by far the more attractive one.
Sshhhh.. don't say that loud... MT09 is not ugly... It's... Different.
all the alien bug headlight nakeds are ugly af to me
IMHO, all the modern "Space Bug" nakeds are ugly. I love the RS versions of the Z bikes though.
I don't like the alien-like mt09, but for me the my2018 is way better looking than the z900. it's just excessively sharp and it's too heavy. mt09 wins 10-0 for me
Z900 is an awesome bike. I have a '17. No nannies. Love it.
"Top 7 Overrated Motorcycles You Should Avoid (based on my own biased opinion)"
There fixed it for you. Don't get me wrong, you're probably a better rider and know more things about bikes more than anyone else here but sometimes your opion is full of bs 😂
Just bought a 2024 Z900 brand new. Could not be happier with this bike. Been riding nearly everyday to work (2 hours round trip) only problem I've got is cleaning the bugs off my helmet daily. Sorry Yammie you're wrong on this one. Z900 is awesome!
Yeah, I just got my 2024 Z900 a week ago. Kawasaki had a sale. Great price on it this month. Ugly? Yammie's MT-09 example looked far uglier with its stacked cyclops headlights, motocross bike seat, unique exhaust, and plain stamped sheet aluminum frame (vs. trellis). The Mt-09 was going for $2k more.
This vid just should have been called “Papa yam’s opinion”
More like “Papa Yams been drinking too much today”
I own a Z900 SE and I love it. Its better than I expected.
That is a good looking bike 💯😎
4:35: The CB-1000R has never been considered a hyper-naked.
No Kawasaki Vulcan S on this list? Yammie has been hacked.
Z900 ugly? what modern naked isn't? They all look like transformers where the robot is cooler looking than the vehicle.
I think you have the Z900 confused with another bike. I've been riding since 1985 and have had dozens of motorcycles (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Harley) and the Z900 has got to be my favorite bike hands down. Adding a full Akrapovic exhaust system to the bike not only wakes it up, but makes it one of the best sounding inline 4s out there. Swing your leg over one, preferably with a full exhaust, and give her a spin.
Roast of Z900 is something that should never not be forgoten
I’m glad the gold wing exists because it’ll extend my riding years into old(er) age. It’s comforting knowing it’s out there, waiting for me.
lol how is the CB overrated? Nobody talks it up and nobody buys it. It should be listed as a "hidden gem" that doesn't get the credit for being how good it actually is because it's overshadowed by the hyper naked category.
I'm going to go ahead and say I am biased but, the CB1000R is a timeless gem. Yes, it's over priced, yes, it's engine is detuned, yes, it isn't a super naked. However, 143hp is wayyyy more than anyone needs for the road, the reliability is second to none, it's produced in Japan, and in 20 years people will still say, "That's a great looking bike."
I have to somewhat disagree.
I have a 2024 Z900 SE edition. I wasn't blown away by it when I first got it. But, after I didn't ride for over a month and rode a 600cc Ninja supersport, a 2024 MT09, and a CF Moto 450 NK, I was actually surprised at how much I missed my Z900 SE. Yes It is heavy-ish, it's not too heavy though, but that weight actually helps with stability going down the road at any decent speed. It is an interesting bike to look at, I don't mind my SE editions looks. It's not perfect for a few reasons but, for the lower cost, good reliability, that great torque! plus a little over 50MPG it's really not a bad bike at all. It's funky, but maybe not in a horrible way. I prefer the look of a supersport for sure, but the Z has it's own little place. Oh, I think the ZH2 or H2 aren't any better looking at all. Naked bikes generally don't look all that good, especially the MT09 or MT10, yuck! They are terrible unfinished looking bikes. 3 cylinder engine sound just don't do it for me either. It's like a Geo Metro with a 3 cylinder, they just sound not quite right. Either 2 cylinder or 4, pick one. If Yamaha would have given the MT09 better more finished looks and a 4 cylinder under 440 lbs I'd be absolutely sold. But, sadly no. That's where the Z900 comes in. Name me another new 4-cylinder naked bike that can compete with the Z900 that isn't heavy......?
And KTM? Uh, no. Reliability is top of the must haves long over a few less punds on a motorcycle.
Oh, and Yammie sure did forget to mention that the ZH2 and H2 are well over 500 lbs!!!
You have to remember every motorbike can just ride down the road fine. It's more about performance and power to weight when we are talking about motorcycles. I don't think the z900 even has an option with fully adjustable suspension. It puts it in the heavy and cheap daily rider not a track or performance focused bike which is why he is saying they're over rated people think they're the best bike they are mediocre
@@DoraTheNinja I hope my comment related my thoughts clearly. I don't think the Z900 is the best bike ever. But, many bikes aren't the best bikes ever. Maybe some people think it is the best bike ever, that's ok too, I'm sure you have a favorite that you think is the best bike ever. Oh, and just for some info, my SE edition has fully adjustable suspension including an Ohlins rear shock with external preload adjustment, special paint and gold anodized front fork tubes. It's pretty cool. I wanted the MT09, but ended up with the Z900 after I rode the MT twice. It was awesome too though. But, the MT was just too unfinished looking and the 3 cylinder sound was just not right as you kept riding it. A very cool bike though. Not sure what bike I would go with if I sold my Z and was looking to "upgrade". I do mostly around town and an occasional canyon ride. The Z really fits that role well. I did change my horrible stock seats, I put different mirrors on it, a slip on muffler (which lopped off 6 pounds) and a tail tidy. It's pretty good now. I get a lot of comments and interest in it everywhere I go. Oh and a quick side note that wasn't mentioned by Yammie, the ZH2 and H2 are well over 500 lbs!!!!! But, he sure made a point about the Z and the CB1000 being a"heavy" 470 lbs.
Oh, and the Z is actually 465. Minus 6 pounds for the muffler on mine. So, mine actually weighs 459 ish pounds. That's not terrible at all for a 4 cylinder 948cc bike if you think about it.
@@DoraTheNinja Daily riding is mediocre. A Z900 is not a track bike and not a boring daily rider either.
@@seth3000gtTriumph makes the better 3 cylinder. Try a 765 STRS.

For the record, a bike that you love, is better if no one else likes it. But, most riders like the Z900.
Z900 is the most popular motorcycle in India maybe people might think it’s overrated in the states but in India it’s the street squid’s dream bike
Because it's a cheapest 900cc inline 4 in country. That's all squids want 😂😂
agreed its chaprified... but still has a very reliable engine , looks bulky and agressive and is cheap to maintain.. i disagree with yammie.. its a very good do all bike
I'm in NC and I love you z9...coming from an R6. I still get the good Ole 4 cylinder sound with waaaay more torque for light to light traffic. I don't regret my purchase
It's also the most popular in Spain. Recession 😢
I thought some type of royal Enfield was the most sold bike in India?
The z900 is so not overrated , and it is good looking. And great all rounder.
Hahah no
I actually really like the look of the Z900. I think it's one of the best looking bikes out there.
Yeah , found it kinda ironic calling the Z900 ugly, while he's riding an MT bike, those are the ugliest naked bikes by far.
@@PapZoltan99 dont agree with that either... The MT is good looking, just not the recent models. The front of the current MT is ugly as its trying to be too futuristic. The older MTs (up to 2020) are great, close to the Z bikes.
@@PapZoltan99 Agreed. The MT-09 is the ugliest. Though on it or right by it you can't see the ugly sections. Dr.Benji actually agrees with you in his second sentence. The Z900 looks good. The lack of $$ electronic do-dads is a plus.
Neil Peart is the only person to make the GS look cool imo may he rock in peace 🤘

Ural isn't overrated. It sells as a fun oddity and gives fun and oddity in spades. I own a 1964-2024 Dnepr, and road trip in one of these is fun (and but friendly for one's co-pilot), because its a people magnet.
The cb1000r isn’t a hyper naked, and they don’t advertise it as such. Also, calling Honda milk toast and pedestrian is just ignorance and bias towards Yamaha. There isn’t a single engine or vehicle manufacturer in the history of engine builders and vehicle manufacturers that has done more for motor sports than Honda. Tammie is just a hater, nothing more.

Sometimes? 😅
We love Harleys for the same reason people love muscle cars. They are by no stretch of the imagination modern, innovative, or fresh....however, they have a character and a soul. Some don't identify or quite frankly like that character, but Harley guys do. So next time you see an old retired, tattooed Harley pirate rolling by on a CVO. He's on that bike for the same reason guys his age would roll by in 70s monte Carlo with Chevy big block crate swap with custom choppy cams and fresh chrome
The goldwing. When you want to see the world and know exactly who you are. Respect.
The Hayabusa is overrated for sure.
Especially a turbo busa
Thats crazy
Blasphemy! :D
The Bussy is the stock Aventador of the bike world. All the beginners want one, they can't afford it, go into debt, nearly die, everybody else sees them as idiots in an overrated car.

The ZZR1441 (ZX14-R) is a superior machine.
The MT09 is still uglier than the Z900....Facts.
They pretty much are on the same level of fugly, also include the KTM in that lineup. What are those bikes even meant to be? some sort of transformer/gundam sort of thing? dont get it.
Good God, stop hating on the BMW GS! It’s an awesome bike! Not a single problem ever with my 2014 GS. It’s a great bike for long distance. Super comfortable. And I completely disagree with you: it’s got power, torque, wind protection, and great technology. And yes, off road capable! I’ve ridden the BMW GS twice on the 2-day, off-road rider course in SC. With some TKC 80 tires on it, it can do almost anything. There is a reason it is so incredibly popular and loved. And it’s a great looking bike too. Back off Yammie! 😁
He said boxer engine should of stopped at dinosaur age! lol meanwhile I am lusting over BMW R9T
@@rubo1964 Ha. I should tell you that in addition to my BMW GS, I also have a BMW R9T Scrambler. I love it too.
I agree with everything you said with the exception of the S1000RR, dont really like that BMW has the breakin period and the bike definitely needs a tune but its an amazing bike. I feel like its not soulless at all. The bike handles amazing and inspires confidence. That paired with the amazing electronics package makes this bike a weapon even in the hands of an average rider.

130 horse power out of a 2.2 liter. That’s the power output of 1.8-2.0 liter economy cars from 20 years ago.😂
My 2007 civic SI had 197 hp and 165 lb-ft. stock. lol.
the problem is that it’s an air cooled engine as they can’t rev much higher than 5-6000rpm due to heat. if it was liquid cooled it’d probably be around the 250 mark especially while comparing it to the v-rod or nightrod. sure some tuners will make that 2100cc engine 200+ hp and funnily enough that it’d still be covered under warranty which is actually pretty sick.
i ride a liquid cooled indian myself so i’m very far from being biased especially as my bike before that was a bmw 650gs 😅
Triumph's 765cc inline triple puts out 130hp. Its a third of the displacement! 🤣

Nostalgia is the ultimate legacy ball and chain.
It's like comparing a Garmin to an Android.
Honda: "Our CB1000R is a Neo Cafe - retro meets modern naked in a beautiful yet sporty package, oh did we mention fireblade engine?".
Yammie "Im calling it a hypernaked and this hypernaked is half baked..."
Completely disagree with the negative comments about the CB1000R. Fantastic bike with really nice finishes not found on the hyper nakeds, like the front side panels and machined/ polished engine cases.
I find the other hypernakeds so powerful that they aren't that fun to ride on the street, with the exception of the MT-09.
Rather than thinking about it as in competition with those bikes, I think of it as a highly evolved version of the old air cooled CB750, where you can experience the dramatic improvements in overall power, power delivery, handling, and fit and finish.
Have never seen or heard of anyone stating that the CB is anything other than what it is. Overrated how???
2020 CB1000R
The best bike I ever had
Not for me, but the lack of used ones generally tells me people like them enough to keep and aren't still looking
Whoa, we got through a Yammie "shitty bikes" video without the Z650 getting mentioned. It's a miracle.
The ural seems like a really odd inclusion in this list. The only times I've ever heard people talk about them, it was basically "oh yeah those weird sidecar things". I don't think anyone is really expecting anything from them other than a weird and novel experience, which is probably why the people that actually ride them seem to love them so much.
It sounds so fun but for $20K, no thank you.
I heard BMW was the favorite motorcycle of the European Tow Truck Association.
🤣🤣🤣
You just have to accept and understand that every modern day bike has its place in the market for riders. Not everyone has the same budget, or the same availability/ access to the so called ‘Best Bikes’, not to mention someone’s age, size, personal riding comfort and individual ability.
Dealership access and locality etc too.
Personally it is video content like this that just makes me think it’s done to boost the numbers rather than actual quality content.
My first and last response to a Yammie video. 👍
Yammie Nub roasts nearly everyone today 😂 not only did I get roasted once but twice! What fun is the world if we can't laugh at ourselves.
Right 👍🤣🤣
But he did touch on good points if people really understand motorcycles 👏👏
Every bike with more than 80hp is overrated. 95% won't tap into the power because it's simple. Above 80mph, talent runs alarmingly low.
Ok, agree with you, for me, the Multi off road, no bueno. Touring, love it! Made several cross country trips from the PNW to the midwest with minimal interstate travel. Did the same on my FJR, will take the multi any day. Yes, I'm 66 and did make two starbucks stops during my travels. Do I need the excitement of a track sport bike, nahhh, but am absolutely thrilled with my V4S Multi!
Great channel, long time follower!
Same.
If Z900 is ugly... what are all other naked bikes that are uglier? C'mon man :)
I would go the extra mile and argue that ALL liter bikes are overrated. You could spend $30k on a 1000cc bike to go 80mph on the highway, or you could spend $9k on a 600cc bike to go 80mph on the highway. That being said.....the S1000RR is my dream bike and I will eventually get one. (despite what Papa Yam may say) 🤣
I would go to the extra mile and add to this that ALL inline4's regarding of displacement are extremely overrated and on their long paved way to death and damnation as the most idiotic and useless engine on a motorcycles ever.
But yeah, liter bikes are bizarre, most of the riders would be slower on them than on v2/triple 765-955cc bike.
When I took my MSF course this past April (2024) the assistant instructor had a BMW F900.
F900 is a good value for money bike imo. Thought about getting it but bought a CB1000R black edition instead. Most beautiful bike ever imo.
I think the z900 looks good and I'm a MT owner. MT is UGLY lol

As the proud owner of a Honda CB1000R, I love mine. I did a lot of customization to make it more of a true cafe racer, like it was meant to be, and it's a very fun bike to ride. And it gets a lot of attention in it's modified configuration. Well worth the money spent on it in my opinion.
just checked out your little overview, absolutely gorgeous bike ✨
@@Tom-hx5kh Thanks! It's a great bike and I get asked about it everywhere I go.
i LOVE it that people are still worried about WHAT they ride rather than how THEY ride it.
I like the z900 or used to love the z1000 because it was the most affordable 1000cc bike I could have. Bought a beast PC with the down payment that I saved for the bike, then proceeded to become a typical room dwelling noob, ruined my career and savings and now only dream of owning any big bike or even getting married, girls say a lot of shit but in the end it comes down to how much money you make.
Seventy years old and got my license at 15. Been riding every since. I absolutely love motorcycles of all kinds and have learned a few things. The biggest thing to me is motorcycles are like women; the very best one is the one I’m riding right now. At that moment none of the others matter.

Honestly I think you dropped the ball on the CB1000R. It's a work of art with 140bhp and as reliable as an old hilux truck..
READ ME IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN A CB1000R
The fueling and timing on the big CB is Fucked beyond belief. A flash COMPLETELY TRANSFORMS THIS BIKE. Look up “2 Wheeled dyno works” and see what a flash and an exhaust system does, it’s wild. Also, full system drops 20lbs of weight.
“They’re kinda the Chads of our community” spot on
CB1000R is a phenomenal bike! Single side swingarm ,great headlight,great looks,great breaks and 144 HP! Seriously who needs more HP on public roads? This is my dream bike....
I own z900 2023 and i change 4 bikes since the kawa and i really like the look and the engine i use it for daily commute and for long rides . Is perfect .
But yammie, so glad the sv650 wasn't on this list. Thanks.
Couldn't agree more with every bike, except the cb1000r. I don't know who gave you the idea that it's a hyper naked or even a super naked because honda most definitely does not market it as that. They call it a neo sports café which as long winded as that name is it describes it perfectly. It's stylish and beautiful café racer looks mated to a fairly sporty chassis, suspension and brakes topped off with an absolute diamond of road going engine. And make no mistake the old 1000cc long stroke from the rr4-rr7 fireblade is an absolute corker of an engine, it's turbine smooth, huge midrange grunt and way more top end rush than anyone can realistically need from a naked bike.
Z900 is not overrated lol. It's just a good alrounder that does not excel in anything. The character of the bike is also smooth which can be seen as tame...
Edit: watched the vid lol yammie is trolling
Nah mate ,you're so wrong,after seeing Harleys all the time,seeing a naked or sportbike is so exciting ...go back to being poor and not being able to afford 1 bike,then youll appreciate any 2 wheeled vehicle!
About the Ducati Multistrada. The V4 has a little sister waiting to be discovered: the V2. Almost has much capable for about 6 to 10 thousand box (depending of the options) less than the V4. Of course the V2 also has a less powerful engine (110HP) but still pack punch and will happilly mach the V4 performances for less fuel consumption. Agile, comfortable, with tons of bells and whistles the V2 his neglected because why not the V4 since where at it? Most guys will select the V4 because: more powa! But at the end of the day. They stop laughing when they see me with my V2 in their mirrors and then realize they have to stop refuelling while I continue my ride for another 120 km (80 miles-ish).
the Multistrada 1200 is 150hp and loads of torque. Who needs more...
Every Ural guy I know here in the US is an US ex-soldier suffering from PTSD.
I'm still loving our (my wife and me) KTM's (Duke 390 , 890R and superduke 1290R) we just love them because of there lightweight handeling and so much fun to ride , lot's of torque and power and we had no issues at all , just normal maintance .
I watched the whole video waiting for the GS to be mentioned, as I knew Yam would say it's overrated 😂 I was also just making sure he didn't think my V-Strom 650 was overrated, because "nobody" even talk about that bike, except V-Strom fans who doesn't even think about selling their bike. I'm sure I won't sell mine at least for quite some time
Good that you put the BMW GS on the list. While I disagree with you on the engine, most people would be better served with an R, RS or even RT. I rode one. Meh, no feel for the front wheel, whatever.
I own a MT09 but I dig the looks of the z900. My brother has one, we would trade bikes and the z900 just feels refinely boring. My MT isn’t a looker but beastly things aren’t always that.
i went from a vulcan S (owned for 4 years) to a 790 ADV (1 year so far)
i fell into that marketing hype of "go everywhere, do anything" gtfoh this KTM is heavy as hell. I love using it for touring rides, but just riding around town doing errands, i wish i had a grom lol
I was definitely a BMW GS simp, but i realized my goal when im 40 is to own and ride the shit out of a goldwing. I say middleweight ADV's are also grossly overrated
Remember folks, buy what you like.
Exactly, buy according to how and where you ride! It's a very personal and specific choice.
I disagree with the CB1000R. If the reason to avoid it is because it's not as powerful as you want it, that's not really the point of the bike in my opinion. I think the detuned engine just gives you the Honda reliability on a snappy sport naked. If I wanted an incredibly fast bike, I probably wouldn't go for the sport naked line. The Ural I don't want to agree with, because I think the aesthetic of them and stability with a side car (side cars are definitely not overrated, you can bring your dog) but they're unreliable and WAY over priced. I knew a guy with 3 and at least one was always broke. I'd like another manufacturer to offer something similar, but more reliable.
Appreciate that you don't join the bandwagon of other channels and try to sell a hype for products. Please, stay the route.
“the s1k is overrated”-yammie
“its just to refined and engineered too well”-also yammie
BMW GS is fun, insanely comfortable, easy to ride, and can do anything. It also weighs far less than the Gold Wing, which is something you failed to mention. The fact that old men buy them and do nothing with them isn't the bikes problem
The Z900 looks soo good! Too bad I didn't like riding it. But its engine totally makes sense: it is based on the legendary ZX9r engine, although not as powerful. And 10k is a good price.😊
What ? No KTM 1290 ( to match the multistrada and the 1250 GS) , no Suzuki ( getting overpriced by the day) , no Triumph and , of course, no Yamaha. But 2 BMW models in the top 10. I'm feeling proud of my babies ( although not those on the video)
Gimmie an old pre-2005 bike. Carbs or early injection. Cable throttle. No shitty electronic toys I'm happy.
Yammie tells it as it is! Great video - thanks!
Nothing quite tickles my fancy as an air cooled bike with a homemade rack and a good ride to some distant campground.
Different strokes for different folks.
Z900 offers you simple and raw experience yet you called it boring.
S1000rr offers you speed and thrill yet you called it boring.
GS and multistrada offers you refinement and advance tech yet you called it boring.
Go out and just walk or run. Hahahaha
Normally I don't agree with papa Yam. But every single point, is completely valid. GS, MS both so overrated. Get a GW or RT if you wanna tour, get a T7 or VstromDE if u want an allroad. Also I'm a big Honda fan, but agree that they missed the mark with the CB1000R
Nah man, the Z900 is a good-looking bike, but I will fully agree that it's a design that's not for everyone. It's like a Lambo versus a Ferrari...you either really like the hard angles in the L, or you prefer the smooth flow of the F design. But some of us like all of them. And where is 470lbs a "whopping" weight? My bike weighs about 650lbs...I doubt I would notice the different between 425lbs and 470lbs, especially if the extra weight is low. That weight difference is meaningless on the street.
KAWASAKI Z900 ISN'T Ugly ...
UGLY bike ... is MAHINDRA MOJO 300 ( Just check it out guys ).
" Z900 " looks aggressive and Brutal ... !!!!!
I haven't heard till now anyone's saying Z900 a UGLY BIKE . 😅😊
AFTER the introduction of " M 1000 RR ". It clearly OVERSHADOWED " S 1000 RR " .😅
Although being a Ducati fan, I couldn 't agree more with you on the matter of Multistrada. It 's just an unnecessary show off vehicle. I really miss the very first, air-cooled 1.000 cc Multistrada. It was beautiful, light, nimble, and tons of fun. Practically a 1.000 cc supermotard, suitable for everyday use and fun in the twisties. Why the hell did Ducati go down the "hyper-adventure" route?
The problem with the original Multistrada is sort of in your description. You sit on the bike more than in it, which makes it feel like a motard. Not ideal for touring. But yeah sound and fun factor is great.
KTM did someting similar with the 990 SMT, which was great fun. Now you have monstrocities like the 1390 Super Adventure or whatever. It's only about profit margins, and currently they probably regret some of their choices....
@@fieramente Why "problem"? It's not that it was the most aggressive riding position one could find. Secondly, you could easily gp on small trips with that first Multistrada, even though it was not a "tourer" per se. Finally, Ducati had the SS and the ST2/ST4 range back then. And the latter were indeed great tourers - and very underestimated bikes IMO. So, why the dinosaur?
